The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over two inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.
For some reason my doctor changed my due date from the 17th of July to the 10th and since I have c-sections they do that at 39 weeks if everything is going well. So I'm thinking around the 3rd or 4th of July based on the doctors date of July 10th. So I'm never sure if I should say I'm 12 weeks (based on my last period) or if I should say based on when I'll deliver. It's kinda confusing don't ya think? Yeah me too. I'm just going to stay with 12 weeks to make it easier.
